Large Statue Virgin And Child Jesus Polychrome Wood XVI Eme Century

Large statue of the Virgin and the child Jesus, 16th century period, polychrome walnut, total height with base 116 cm. Note repainting and restorations, xylophagous attack (treated recently) recent custom-made base.
Superb statue of medieval popular art, note the straight folds falling at the bottom of the dress and the bec de corbin in the mantle, the child who holds the bible in a frontal position as for the virgins in majesty, we are at the transition between these 2 styles, the child presented frontally from the Middle Ages and from the 17th century where he is stuck to the mother's side and presented sideways.
Also typical of this period, the square neckline, the peasant cap, the S-shaped hairstyle framing the face and the slight smile typical of the Virgins of the Middle Ages, whether in painting or sculpture.
The statue being a prestigious object that is quite high and heavy, shipping will be done by specialized carrier.
A certificate of authenticity dating from 2021 established by François de Lallaisiere, an expert in the Middle Ages, will be attached.
